I think it's come down to really what features you want. Very few browsers do anything new.
Most are now an offshoot of Chrome, Mozilla, or IE (with Opera being an IE offshoot) Marathon is very popular. Epic Browser is another fast browser. I personally have been using Spark browser. It has nice tools built in, torrent, youtube downloader and converter, as well as some others. You can find it here... http://en.browser.baidu.com/ I liked Chrome but after loading in any amount of extensions, it makes the browser screech to a halt. One extension that attempts to deal with low resource problem is "The Great Suspender". It will put pages\tabs into a low memory usage mode when not accessed for a period of time. Best of luck on your choice! |

But what do you do? Go with Internet Explorer? Bullshit on that! |

Used to use Firefox for a long time and it was great, but lately a lot of pages don't work or are incredibly slow to navigate. I've tried resetting it and it hasn't worked What's the next great browser? What OS? What extensions? What A/V are you running? I haven't used another browser other than mozilla/FF in 15 years. I am having no problems. |

Chrome was terrible on my computer. It would instantly pop up with Web site not found on many pages, including gmail. Uninstalled and installed it a few times and same issue. Firefox works much better on mine. Even ie 11 was fucked from the get go with Web pages not found. Google refused to Google anything unless you knew the Web page address and typed it in. Bing works.
Not sure of the issues but Firefox and Bing work. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

Chrome was crap for me so I took it off. My issue with it was the enormous memory usage.
My firefox is very fast, even with a lot of tabs open. It only grabs the pages that it needs to. I don't believe I configured that, just came that way, for me. I do suggest you do a couple of things: * use ccleaner and uninstall some old Java versions if you have them. Also clean up your cache data and cookies. * figure out if you have any bogus toolbars or other malware and get it removed. * add Adblock Plus, DoNotTrackMe, Ghostery, NoScript and Session Manager. Make sure they're updated and blocking EVERYTHING you don't want. * Remove or disable all the other add ons. If this step helps, then re-enable them one by one to figure out which is/are the ones interfering. |

Chrome is 100% spyware, but you could go the Chromium route if you prefer the features and security of that browser.
Firefox is the better choice when it comes to end user privacy. Chromium/Chrome is the better choice when it comes to application security. IE is used when websites do not work in either of the above, or for testing compatibility during development. I use Firefox, along with Adblock, Disconnect, and NoScript. I also avoid opening questionable content unless I'm utilizing a virtual machine designed for such use. YMMV. |
